3-Laser protection
1.Laser Safety Goggles Requirements
Laser safety goggles should be selected based on the ability to shield the
entire wavelength range of the laser emitted by the hand-held laser welding
machine. When operating this device, please wear appropriate laser safety
goggles. Selecting the appropriate laser safety goggles requires the end user to
accurately identify the laser safety goggles. The wavelength range emitted by
the product. If the device is a tunable laser or Raman product, it emits light in a
range of wavelengths. End users should verify that the laser safety glasses used
are capable of blocking light emitted by the device over its entire wavelength
range. Please check the safety label on the product and verify that personal
protective equipment (i.e. safety shield, viewing window or windows, goggles,
etc.) is adequate for output power and wavelength range. Decisions regarding
safety glasses must also take into account any secondary radiation hazards
posed by the welding process (see Chapter II, Section 4-1)
2.Laser Protective Equipment Suppliers
Whether the laser is being used in a new facility or retrofitting an existing
system, the end user is solely responsible for determining the suitability of all
personal protective equipment.
There are several suppliers of laser safety equipment that provide materials or

Maxphotonics handheld laser welding machine, the wavelength range is
1060nm~1100nm, which is not in the visible light range, but these beams may
cause irreversible damage to the retina and cornea. Maxphotonics recommends
that you must wear qualified and safe protective glasses when operating the
handheld welding machine at all times.
